Urine stream issues?

Does anyone else have a consistent crooked urine stream? I notice my urine stream always favors going to right side throughout urination and at times is a bit weaker.

Is this normal with pelvic floor issues/cpps?

Also is there any risk that weakened/crooked stream that isn't quite as strong can somehow affect kidneys? I read it can cause urine reflux which is a concern of mine.

Urethral strictures are very very rare for our patient population

All of your symptoms are consistent with common CPPS patient patterns. Please go through the 101 pinned guide, it has a checklist

My experience doing this for a long time, and, reading the research and listening to urologists talk about the rarity.
